One more month we bring Babies and more the opportunity to assess what is true in the popular belief that says that many women go into labor on the days when there are changes in the moon phase.
We continue with the question of whether a reader really agreed the time of delivery with the moon change but also today, near the month of June, we bring back the Moon's calendar for those moms who are close to the time of delivery and want to take the test.
For those who do not know the belief, it is said that the moon has an effect on pregnant women in the same way that it affects the tides, since humans are not only mostly water, but babies also live in an aqueous medium called liquid amniotic and at each moon change (and especially with the full moon) the chances of calving increase. There are recent studies that show that there really is no difference with the phase changes and even with a full moon. However, two thirds of the population still thinks that the moon does affect and there are books and publications that explain really curious things.
It is said that formerly the menstrual periods went hand in hand with the lunar cycle (which is also 28 days), ovulating the full moon day and menstruating the new moon day. In this way the births were in full moon, and hence today we speak of the full moon day as the most likely. Women who had "changed" cycles, menstruating on a full moon, were considered witches.
Many will wonder why it is not so now. The use of the contraceptive pill, the contamination, the food full of chemistry, the disconnection of the woman with her body, with her sexuality and with the earth, etc. they have made us move away from nature and have caused the moon has stopped influencing as I did before.
Perhaps this is why the lunar calendar can be useful for some women and is at the same time nonsense for others.
Will it be true? I think we'll never know if it really ever happened.
I leave this month's calendar:
The cycle changes will be as follows:
• Full moon: Day 7 at 18:13 h. • Waning cycle: Day 15 at 10:16 p.m. • New moon: Day 22 at 7:36 p.m. • Increasing cycle: Day 29 at 11:30 a.m.
